News Liste THE FINALS

Update 9.7.0

STAY ON THE MOVE!

[p]Hey there, Contestants![/p][p]
This week, we are bringing a bunch of bug fixes, some performance improvements, changes to Point Break, balance changes and more! The recent DDoS attacks have also been largely mitigated by now, so the game should be back to normal service![/p][p]Check out the full notes below.[/p][p][/p]

SOCIAL
Alternativen: DISPLAY NAME

[p]As part of our ongoing process of protecting the game from bad actors, we have introduced new rules for your Embark ID Display Name that will make it easier for our moderation tools to find offensive names.

If your Display Name did not fit in the new rule system, it was likely changed, with no cooldown so you can pick a new one easily. You can change your name in the settings menu by going to Settings > Social > Account, then choose Edit Embark ID.
[/p][p]If you were affected by this change, you may also have received an inbox message warning about possible permanent bans. That message was sent by mistake, and we are sorry for the confusion it caused. Please disregard it. Only accounts with display names that were clearly and severely inappropriate were meant to receive that warning.
[/p]

STORE UPDATE
Alternativen: PEAK-FORM STRIKER

[p]Send your opponents down a slippery slope in style with the Peak-Form Striker and the Slope Slammer sets. And you know what, sometimes you just need to get right to the point: We added Finger guns. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42849803/4dc7ecca8ee106ca9d4564609f9dfe1e72a25a3f.png"][/img][/p]

WORLD TOUR

ORBITAL BREACH[p]Watch out, Contestants, Orbital Breach has been enabled in the Arena. You will have to think twice about taking a break in the corner of a room as this event combines Hackout, letting you see nearby opponents through walls, and Orbital Lasers, targeting anyone standing still for too long. Use this to your advantage but remember, other teams will as well.[/p][previewyoutube="ORjwL2wzLsg;full"][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p] [/p]

DLC
Alternativen: GLITCH PROWLER SET

[p]Let your feline side take over and leave no chance to the competition with the Glitch Prowler Set. Embrace the cuteness, lull your opponents in a false sense of security, and strike :3 [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42849803/75cfc171a7927225bc95eb451d8dc8a2b3ea0a68.png"][/img][/p][p]Glitch in, start the hunt, and always land on your feet! [/p][p][/p]

OPTIMIZATION

LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS [p]As a part of our ongoing performance work, this patch has tons of small performance fixes for objects used on Bernal, Nozomi, Seoul. We’ve made dozens of micro changes that may not spell out noticeable improvements this time, but there are hundreds more planned and together they’ll build a better experience overall, change by change.

Balance Changes

Gadgets

[p]Dome Shield[/p]

[p]Decreased health from 300 to 250[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: The Dome Shield has essentially been a ‘must have’ for Heavy players for quite some time and does lack a range of hard counters. This is especially bad in double Heavy team compositions, where they’re able to spam Dome Shields. This adjustment aims to reduce the value of the item in the short term. Longer term, we’d like to introduce more shield counters to better balance out the Dome Shield and Mesh Shield.
[/p][p]Glitch Grenade[/p]

[p]Increased ammo from 1 to 2[/p][/*]
[p]Increased cooldown from 12 to 25 seconds[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: Our changes to Glitch Grenade in 9.0 aimed to ask more of players when it came to Glitch Grenade placement, by removing the second, immediately available grenade. In hindsight, we see that this has been too punishing and removed some key utility, so we’ve decided to return to having two ammo. To add more cost to Glitch usage though, the cooldown has been raised to 25 seconds.[/p][p][/p]

Game Modes

[p]Point Break[/p]

[p]Added constraint zones around Grand Vaults, preventing them from being moved too far from their initial spawn point[/p][/*]

[p]Dev note: Moving objectives is something we feel is part of the ‘Dynamism’ pillar in THE FINALS. However, we want to make sure it remains fun and balanced. In Point Break especially, the location of the objective can quickly shift the balance of the mode. With this change we aim to reach a nice balance between dynamic objectives and a reliable Point Break match experience.[/p]

[p]Added the ability to spectate from the position of your Revive Statue when eliminated in Point Break mode [/p][/*]
[p]SYS$Horizon: Adjusted the location of an attacker spawn in phases two and three, to better balance the distances as the objectives progress[/p][/*]
[p]Bernal: Adjusted the location of an attacker spawn in phase two, to better balance the distances as the objectives progress[/p][/*]
[p]Bernal: Added ladders for comfortable flow from the adjusted spawn location to objectives[/p][/*]

Weapons

[p]FCAR[/p]

[p]Increased damage from 22 to 23[/p][/*]
[p]Decreased rate of fire from 540 RPM to 520 RPM[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: We’ve seen both ‘poke’ (long ranged, high damage) and ‘brawl’ (short ranged, high damage) weapons increasingly becoming the top weapons in the meta over the last season or so, and this was never really intentional. It’s left a lot of automatic weapons struggling performance wise by comparison, so we’re making various small nudges to a range of automatic weapons in 9.7 to help them out. This FCAR change, a small buff in overall DPS for the weapon, is one of those. [/p][p][/p][p]M60[/p]

[p]Decreased dispersion when aiming down sights while standing and moving, making the weapon more accurate[/p][/*]
[p]Decreased dispersion when firing from the hip, in some stances, where the dispersion level could reach unintended extreme values[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: These changes should make the M60 feel easier to use, hopefully bringing it closer to the Lewis Gun in usage. [/p][p][/p][p]P90[/p]

[p]Increased damage falloff minimum range from 16m to 18m, giving the weapon a slightly longer effective range[/p][/*]
[p]Increased damage falloff max range from 22m to 24m, giving the weapon a slightly longer effective range[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: Similar to the FCAR change above, this is to increase the P90’s viability.
[/p][p]Pike-556[/p]

[p]Increased damage from 48 to 49[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: Our last round of changes to the Pike-556, along with the CB-01’s overall performance, have really hurt the Pike’s popularity in a serious way. This small tweak should bump its viability.
[/p][p]XP-54[/p]

[p]Increased rate of fire from 860 RPM to 880 RPM[/p][/*]

[p]Dev Note: Another FCAR-like change, hopefully boosting the XP-54’s viability.[/p][p][/p]
